There she goes again! That’s right, it seems there’s a new trend in town: rewriting history to make it fit like a snug little glove on a political agenda. This week, a video has surfaced showing a woman passionately explaining that black people invented the ambulance!

As humorous as her claims might be, there’s something altogether baffling about this take. One can almost sense the frustration of history teachers everywhere when confronted with yet another outlandish interpretation of undeniable facts. Not to mention, what’s with the photo trying to prove the point? Last I checked, painting a vehicle white doesn’t invent a mode of emergency transportation—oh, if only it were that easy!

Now, before your eyes roll out of your head, let’s consider the reasoning here. The suggestion, apparently, is that if you don’t like black people, you shouldn’t use something they invented. Missing a couple of points there: first, black people didn’t actually invent ambulances; second, following this flawed logic means doing without about 95% of modern innovations, mostly birthed by those pesky Europeans. Someone call a prehistoric Uber!

And then there’s the cherry on top. The statistics game is hard to ignore in this “debate.” According to credible numbers, it’s actually young black males under 35 who are more frequently involved in the kind of activities that might require an ambulance—whether that be due to gun violence or health issues like high blood pressure. Talk about a subplot twist in her ambulance narrative.

So, while this woman might want to rewrite history, she seems to miss a piece of advice: thank a French person next time you hear those sirens blazing. They just might actually have gotten this one right the first time around.
